<b>Chapter </b>360
The man <b>was </b>surprised when he <b>heard </b>this, “Do you think she can tolerate insults <b>and </b>abuse <b>because </b>she cares more about power and <b>status</b>? If that’s the case, then she doesn’t need to tolerate it. After <b>all</b>, <b>your </b>grandmother loves <b>her </b><b>so </b>much, why would she put up with all this? It’s pointless<b>!</b><b>” </b>
<b>Jaxson’s </b>knobby fingers gripped the <b>base </b><b>of </b>the <b>ss</b>, saying nothing.
He continued, “So many women wanted to marry into the Hamilton family, including Caroline, but couldn’t get in. And yet <b>your </b><b>grandmother </b>chose
Charlotte.”
“Your grandma, with her sharp eyes, you know she can totally see through Charlotte<b>, </b>right? But she still let Charlotte in, which means Charlotte is not as shallow <b>as </b><b>she </b><b>seems</b><b>.</b>”
Jaxson pursed his thin lips, over the years his disgust towards the Sutton family <b>was </b>just Gustavo constantly asking <b>for </b>benefits <b>as </b>his father–in<b>–</bw.
Charlotte only asked him once, and he knew she <b>was </b>asking for the Sutton family.
And over the years, he did look down on the Sutton family’s “rise of the small–minded.”
What else did Charlotte do besides Gustavo?
She had no connection with the Hamilton family, kept her rtionship with him hidden even when out, and never asked him for any jewelry, not even a bag or a piece of clothing. Even if she was trying to save <b>face</b>, she hid it well, butter he gave her <i>a </i>ck card.
She hasn’t touched that card until now.
Even in the property division in the divorce agreement, she only asked for one million.
A million was nothing to him.
“Gerald, I don’t understand Charlotte anymore. Why did she marry him in the first ce, and now why is she leaving?<b>” </b>
Gerald Mueller blurted out, “Maybe because they like you?”
Liked him…
Jaxson’s deep eyes flickered with a hint of rity, “She… likes me?”
“I’m just saying, after all, if a woman doesn’t like you, it’s like you said, just for power and status. <i>What </i>does it matter <b>if </b>you have <b>a </b><b>mistress </b><b>outside </b><b>of </b>your first love? She wouldn’t mind, right?”
The gloom on Jaxson’s face, dissipated a bit.
“Okay<b>, </b>let’s not talk about that for now.” Gerald poured a drink and his <b>face </b>turned serious.“Let’s talk about Collin, this kid has some serious psychological issues.<b>” </b>
“He was pushed down from upstairs, maybe got quite <b>a </b>scare<b>.</b><b>” </b>
“I <b>don’t </b>think so.”
<b>Gerald </b>shook his <b>head</b>, “Just being pushed down the stairs<b>, </b>and it was the first time, the fear from the shock is short<b>–</b><b>term</b><b>, </b>but he <b>has </b>long<b>–</b>term psychological issues. It indicates that besides being pushed down the stairs, he had experienced some <b>abuse </b><b>and </b>intimidation <b>early </b>on.”
Jaxson suddenly froze, “How is that possible, he’s Caroline’s <b>son</b>.”
“Yeah, I didn’t believe <b>it </b>at first either. After <b>all</b><b>, </b><b>a </b><b>tiger </b>doesn’t <b>eat </b>its own cubs. But when <b>I </b>saw <b>those </b><b>scars </b>on his thighs, those wounds <b>were </b>stacked together, not caused by idents<b>.</b><b>” </b>
<b>“</b>A mother who loves her child would never <b>tolerate </b><b>any </b><b>injuries </b>on the child. Unless, those scars were <b>caused </b>by the mother <b>herself</b><b>.</b>”
Gerald now <b>recalls </b>those <b>scars </b>he <b>saw</b>, <b>and </b>he <b>can’t </b>help but shiver.
This is <b>clearly </b><b>abuse</b><b>! </b>
He had his mind blown by Caroline <b>for </b><b>the </b>first time.
Jaxson looked <b>grim</b>, <b>after </b>exposing <b>Caroline’s </b><b>lies </b>time and time again, it was time <b>for </b>him <b>to </b><b>investigate </b><b>some </b>things.
